History

2020

The inaugural conference was held on February 28, 2020, to little media attention. Michelle Malkin, Patrick Casey, who formerly lead Neo-Nazi group Identity Evropa, and former Daily Caller editor Scott Greer spoke at the event, as well as Nick Fuentes, its host.

2021

The second conference was held on February 26, 2021. The speakers included white supremacists[7] as well as current Representative Paul Gosar,[8] whose attendance was the subject of significant controversy.[9]
